(P.S.) My fellow classmates, if I seemed distant at times during my 18 months at KAHS, it was probably due to the high pressure for me to complete 30 months of school in order for me to graduate in 1965. I wasn't there with my fellow seniors receiving my diploma, as I was back in the US attending Summer School to complete my credits to graduate. (Which I did in Aug 1965) God bless you all, my friends.
